Hi Laura,
Thanks for the photo. Unfortunately and as I suspected, this isn't a cicada but rather a leafhopper. Of which species, I am uncertain as there are many many species of leaf hoppers in the United States.
They are similar to cicadas in that they fold their wings "roof-like" over their bodies and have sucking mouth parts. It is because of these characteristics that both cicadas and leafhoppers are in the same sub-order known as "Hemiptera".
